Abstract: An automated banking machine (10) identifies and stores documents such as currency bills deposited by a user. The machine then selectively recovers documents from storage and dispenses them to other users. The machine includes a central transport (70) wherein documents deposited in a stack are unstacked, oriented and identified. Such documents are then routed to storage areas in recycling canisters (92, 94, 96, 98). When a user subsequently requests a dispense, documents stored in the storage areas are selectively picked therefrom and delivered to the user through an input/output area (50) of the machine. The control system (30) for the machine includes a terminal processor (548). The terminal processor communicates with a module processor (552). The module processor (552) communicates with module controllers (554, 556, 558, 560, 562 and 564) which control the operation of devices. The module processor coordinates the activities of the module controllers to achieve the processing of documents reliably and at high speeds.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for closed-loop power threshold leveling for a satellite communication system. An aspect of the present invention includes a plurality of user earth terminals (UET), a satellite and a network control center (NCC). The NCC  polls the UETs to obtain power profile information from the UETs. When polled, the UETs form power profile responses, and send the responses back to the NCC: The NCC forms a power profile database and statistically analyzes the power profile information to determine an uplink power threshold adjustment. The NCC  transmits the uplink power threshold adjustment to the satellite which adjusts an on-board uplink power level threshold in response to the uplink power threshold adjustment. In systems using multiple coding levels, the NCC determines uplink power offset values corresponding to the individual coding levels. The NCC delivers the uplink power offset values to the UETs which update their local power offset values stored in memory.
